“We designed these to fit impeccably into the standard 30-inch space that's so frequently found in North American kitchens,” notes Jenn-Air marketing director Brian Maynard. “As with our entire collection, our designers and engineers were completely focused on incorporating luxury design principles, elegant touches and powerful performance into this newest introduction.”

Powerful oven elements include a 3,600-Watt Hidden Bake Element; a 4,000-Watt Broil Element; and a 3,200 True Convection Element that distributes heated air throughout the oven cavity for temperature consistency.

Additional features found on the ovens include an Auto Convection Conversion that takes the guesswork out of converting conventional cook times to the appropriate convection settings. A Sabbath Mode allows the oven to be used when observing the Sabbath or other religious holidays. Other thoughtful features include soft, auto-close oven doors and easily maneuverable telescoping glide racks for easy access when removing or checking on dishes in progress.

"While induction is not new, consumers in the U.S. are increasingly embracing the technology thanks to its power, responsiveness and efficiency," notes Maynard.

Style options for the new ranges include Euro-Style stainless steel with sleek, slightly curved handles and the more commercial look of Pro-Style stainless featuring a handle designed with diamond etching. Currently available, suggested retail prices for the Euro-Style and Pro-Style models are $3,199 and $3,299, respectively.
